Welcome to my little blog...I post a little something when the mood strikes...sometimes I open up a post for comments, but most of the time I don't. I know how complicated commenting on blogs can be, and want to keep this simple....I just thank you for visiting!

A Bit About Me...

Kari from Meadowview Farm: I have this little Steiff Rabbit with most of its mohair fur worn off. That is me...not perfect, a little worn, but plenty loved. I am a gatherer, and I also pay attention to details. If you can describe something as "sweet" or "charming" -- I likely will need to adopt it. I believe in wonder, and I pray I will always feel hopeful at the end of the day. Sunshine on my shoulder will sometimes make me cry and barefeet will always make me smile.

We arrived at our farm in 2006: found it on a Saturday-- owned it on Tuesday. It took almost a year before we could move in....and now, we count our blessings every day.

We come home. At the end of our journey -- this embrace of a farm awaits us. We come home. We breathe. We come home.

Welcome to our farm, our lives --- this is who we are.

I wonder....
what would have happened if we hadn't traveled northwest that Saturday. If we hadn't stopped in awe at this vacant farm. If we hadn't fought to adopt her and soothe her hurts. What would have been lost or missed in our lives? I wonder.

Celebrate: holidays, everyday, today

Winter: quiet, quilts, antiquing

Spring: kittens, lilacs, auctions

Summer: gardens, goats, projects

Autumn: apples, pumpkins, harvest
